Haaland double guides BVB into Champions League quarters-finals

Borussia Dortmund 2-2 Sevilla - Dortmund win 5-4 on aggregate
Goals: 1-0 Haaland (35’), 2-0 Haaland (pen. 54’), 2-1 En-Nesyri (pen. 68’), 2-2 En-Nesyri (90'+6)

Trailing 3-2 after the first leg three weeks previously, Sevilla were obliged to take the game to Dortmund from the off. Lucas Ocampos pounced on a loose pass from Emre Can only three minutes in, but Marwin Hitz clawed away his powerful strike from the edge of the area. Dortmund were pinned back in the opening 10 minutes but Mo Dahoud - who scored their first goal in Spain - then sliced a volley wide from distance. Suso shot off target from a tight angle for Sevilla as the home side - without injured England attacker Jadon Sancho - sat deep and asked the visitors to try and play through them. It was Dortmund, though, who struck first, and no surprise that Haaland was the scorer. Thomas Delaney showed great strength to win the ball back high up the pitch, before Dahoud slipped in Marco Reus who teed up Haaland for a tap in.

Dortmund had a brighter start to the second half, and Haaland bulldozed his way through to put the ball into the net for a second time. His strike was ruled out, though, only for the home side to be awarded a penalty for a pull on Haaland's jersey in an earlier attack. That was only the start of the drama, however, as the Norwegian's penalty - and his follow-up - were both saved by Bounou. The Sevilla keeper had come off his line early, though, meaning Haaland was allowed to retake the spot-kick. The 20-year-old sent his shot into the same corner but this time beat the goalkeeper's dive. Substitute Papu Gomez forced Hitz into a diving stop, but then Can shoved Luuk De Jong as Sevilla got a penalty of their own. Youssef En-Nesyri smashed his effort down the middle to move the Spaniards to within two goals of forcing extra-time. The impressive Jude Bellingham was influential as Dahoud twice went close late on before En-Nesyri powered home a header with seconds remaining. Dortmund clung on, though, to reach the quarter-finals.

• Haaland is the top scorer in the Champions League this season with 10 goals in his six matches after also netting twice in the first leg.

• Haaland also scored twice in Dortmund’s 4-2 defeat against Bayern last weekend, meaning he has 30 goals in all competitions this season. He has scored 47 times in 47 competitive games for Dortmund.
